Deductions & credits

There is nothing to "upload" about the childcare credit.  You key in your information.   Before you try to work on the childcare credit you must enter all of your combined income, whether it is W-2 income or self-employment income.   The credit will not work until you have shown income from working.

You will not get the childcare credit until (unless) you enter income earned from working.   The credit does not work unless you enter your income first.   If you are filing a joint return you must show income for both spouses, or show that one or both of you was a student or disabled.   If you have self-employment income and show a loss you will not get the childcare credit.  You will not get the credit if you are filing married filing separately.  

 

If you have entered all of your income and you have entered your dependent(s) then work on the childcare credit by entering the Tax ID or Social Security number of your childcare provider and enter the amount you paid for the childcare.
